But Corabi says on Facebook: “As my email, texts, and phone is blowing up over this, I’d like to publicly retort. Thank you to Motley Crue for the five years we had together. I’m extremely proud of the record we recorded together!

“Your phone call to me asking to join your band, has honestly helped my career immensely. I have done everything since, my way, under my terms. I am who I am, I write the way I write, and I’m beyond happy being the person I am.

“I have nothing but mad respect for Motley, including Mr Sixx, and wish them all the best with their future endeavours.”
